forensic artist
Face reconstruction specialist
A forensic artist creates visual representations for law enforcement—typically sketches of suspects based on witness descriptions, or facial reconstructions from skeletal remains.
The work bridges art and criminal investigation: The forensic artist worked with the witness to produce a composite sketch.
Some specialize in age progression, showing how missing persons might look years later.
